:Well, according to the book's [http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/851/cci0404201100000000comp.jpg back cover], it is © Nintendo and Shigesato Itoi, so I'd say that it is considered as (at least sufficiently) canon. The book is quite cozy and provides with some really obscure tidbits of information, like the characters' length and weight, so I'd actually recommend all of the Mother fans out there to purchase a copy when they get the chance. :3

If you'd like to have a more visually clear understanding of what I've mentioned, I'd be glad to do some scanning. I can however not contribute much more than uploading images from the book, as my knowledge about japanese (which the texts are written in in more than 95% of the time) is severely limited. This [http://kenisu.webs.com/motherencyclopedia.htm Kenisu] person has done some pretty cool work with translating the content of the book, however. ~ [[User:Sun Braid|Sun Braid]] 13:16, 4 April 2011 (MDT)

:Oh, yes. That is what I mainly used when making the Mother Encyclopedia-based locations (which I'm far from being done with). The image severely dies when using IE or Chrome though, although installing Firefox isn't really that much of an ordeal. But it'd honestly turn out better if I'd let someone else do that, as I currently can't handle anything more complex than Paint or Picasa (will try to learn all the billions of functions GIMP has to offer sometime though). ~ [[User:Sun Braid|Sun Braid]] 15:29, 11 May 2011 (MDT)

I'd rather that images being cited be on a webpage somewhere or on the wiki itself, rather than just Photobucket. If you want to upload your Mother Encyclopedia images to WikiBound and tag them with [[Template:Reference image]], that would work.

Is there some reason that moving all of those is at all urgent? It's not exactly in anyone's way at the moment.

:No, nothing urgent about that, really. It's just that their differing name-related qualities, when compared to the rest of the sprites, can get a little annoying when you for example would like add them to an enemy list of some sort. I think it'd just be overall more practical if all of their names would be arranged systematically in some way, and that it'd be more convenient to get rid off this trifle-ish issue as quick as possible (but, as you said, it doesn't really interfere with anything in any disadvantaging way, so I wouldn't classify it as prioritization number one). I mean, it doesn't really worsen anything (though my knowledge about the process of moving files equals nonexistent, so if it'd affect the pages the sprites are currently used on, it'd perhaps not be worth it). And what's being gained of it (if I was being vague 'bout that) is: '''consistency'''. *Does yellow spongy guy's imagination gesticulation* [[User:Sun Braid|Sun Braid]] 10:02, 29 May 2011 (MDT)

:Hah, I've actually been following this as of late. Totally awesome that the Mother mangas finally are being paid attention to! This would ease the process of expanding the articles concerning EB manga greatly as well; the "Ness's Adventure Chronicles" being an example of an article I thought would remain as a stub for another decade or so.
